    There are nine undefeated teams left in the country after week 8. Not bad. Bama torched Texas A&M, Michigan is over there, sneaking to #2 in the country after Ohio State went down to Penn State. Clemson and Washington are right there on their heels at #3 and #4. Nebraska is #7, after looking shaky […]

    Last weekend, The Chaos Gods laid in waiting. College football proceeded as if all was normal – with the teams winning and losing who were supposed to for the most part. Clemson had their yearly Clemsoning vs. NC State, but were good enough to be able to win in the end. Of course, there were […]

    This Week in the Group of 5 – 10/11/16

    Another weekend of college football, another satisfying meal for the Chaos gods. Sure, the top of the rankings mostly did what they were supposed to do and win. Five more undefeated teams went down this weekend, and we’re here with 11 perfect teams left, fighting it out. The only new entrant to the top five […]

    For goodness’ sake, College Football. You’re going to kill us all. We’re already dealing with the most stressful election year in recent memory so everyone is already on edge, and then you hand us a weekend where TEN RANKED TEAMS lose. There were stunning results all over the place. North Carolina took out Florida State […]

    Things progressed nicely in week four. Two more teams were dropped from the AP top 25 – Georgia got crushed by Ole Miss, and LSU lost by less than a TD to Auburn (but it was enough to get Les Miles fired). While, no, last weekend wasn’t one of insane underdog victories all over the […]

    College football was ridiculous fun last weekend, wasn’t it? There were surprising results all over the place, with Louisville cementing their place at the top of the polls with a dominant performance against Florida State that saw the #2 team in the country going down by 43 points, Houston finally finding a way to end […]

    This week in the Group of 5 – 9/13/16

    Remember reading about how there were no good matchups this week in college football from various pundits last week? That was entertaining. Turns out, it was another weekend of chaos. Pitt beat Penn State, Utah held off BYU after 87 million combined turnovers, Arkansas beat a ranked TCU team in 2OTs, UConn lost to Navy,  […]

    Oh, August. When optimism is high, and all fan bases, big and small, are free to dream big – conference trophies, bowl berths, and even possibly getting in the playoff and winning the biggest prize. In August, everyone is a champion. Even Pitt. If the rest of 2016 has been any indication, college football is […]
